Business Availability.

Bishop Ames of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, once delivered
sermon in Washington In The -nres--
President and a large number of
other Government officials on the
subject of amiabilicy in business.
His text related to the person Il
characteristics Of the prophet Dan
iel, the leading characteristic Of
whom was amiability OF deport-
ment, winning to Daniel by his
traits, nearly all with whom he
came in contact. From this start
ing point the Bishop proceeded to
sum up some of the observations OF
his own long life, showing how
men of his acquaintance had sue
ceeded in their several occupations
by the practice of habituai courtesy
without insincerity, this Trait OF
course, accompanied by honesty
and industry. "Other things be-
ing equal" said the great preach
er. 81 always prefer to buv my
goods at the store from that clerk
who has a friendly word and d
kindly look Of recognition. So, too,
prefer to deal with that business

and treats me like brother. 9th
er things being equal, such clerk
aud such business mau will win

PunctualitI.

One of the many forms of evil is
a want of punctuality, the root Of
all evil. The unpunctual man is
apt to think that the greatest evil
he occasions by his special infrmi-
ty is temporary Inconvenience or
disappointment. But this is not so.
If one of his delays should disturb
only the arrangements for one day
OF "A single person he may congrat-
ulate himself. Order is Heavens
first law, and the second, regular
routine, is like unto it. II the. earth
and the moon were to loiter intlleir
course, every thing here would be-
.out.of joint. What bitter disap.f
pointInent and what serious annoy
ance and loss may come from a let
ter 4 little too late for the post, a
bill paid after the promised time,
an appointment not kept, com.

self, and think Of these things

ed may safely trust in you. DO
this when you say you will do it,
even if it be a little thing, without

perable obstacles.-H ouse d

Working in the Garden.

There is not only proftin making
garden, but pleasure. Many per-
sons attach no value to the labor Of
garden work, especially when it af
fords them a mode of healthy out
door exercise;but whether a garden
be only very small plot or large
area, the advantages derived de-
pend upon the skill, care, and labor
of the person who has charge of it.
1t is true that, while those who Gull
tivate hundreds of acres of struck"
can produce vegetables much more
cheaply than Can those whose plots
are too small to permit Of the use Of
improved implements, the garden
er who grows his vegetables for
home use secures a freshness and
quality that cannot be obtained
With vegetables that are purchased.
There is quite difference between
the pulling of a ripe tomato from
the vine and placing it on the ia
BILE, and the selection of one from q
basket that has been shipped over
a distance by rail, and which may
have been taken from the vine two
or three days before.
But there is also another advan
tage in family gardening other than
the freshness and quality Of the
small fruits and vegetables grown.
which is the choice of varieties
Two or three kinds of squash, sew
eral of peas, as we'll as diferentva
rieties of beets, beans, berries, and
even melous, if space will allow of
their growth, will permit of cater
ing to the preferences ofevery mem
Der of the family. With the sclec
ton OF varieties come proper care
and iudicious working with the
hoe, and it is in this maDner that
the hoe, and it is in this manner
that the younger members are
taught their first lessons IN practi-
cal agriculture. 1t is said that the
boy who works on a farm where
his duties call for milking the cows,
blowing the fields and cultiyating
the crops, does not have that fond
ness for farm life that is peculiar to
the one who is givena small garden
and early taught to take an inter
est in it.
tits often the case thatladies are
benefited by light work i'll The gar
den, especially if they are interest

the farmers wife, and the children
also, become interested, the cost OF
the labor may be really considered
as nothing,while the saving OF doc

mon owl boots on your right. good
luck will follow, bnt bad luck
should he take up his position on
the left and boot therefrom.
In France the handsome white
owl. with it's beautiful plumage, is
accepted everywhere as q forerun-
ner.of death. The reputation Of
all night birds, great or small, is no
better; but Southern imagination
has discovered a remedy for all

In the south Of Germany the crow

land the influence of the appear
ance of this sancy bird upon cur

bers in which he appears, and is

authorizing vote upon this proposition.
They refused to consider the petition.
This action was taken before the printed
laws OF 1887 had been distributed and
the commissioners OF Sargent took the
very sensible ground that until they
we're officially informed of the existence
Of law they could not operate under
Its provisions. Whatever the books
may say upon the subject, this is oom-

Washington, August 9-Advices from
Virginia are to the effect that the CAM
paign has fairly opened. Prominent
republicans say that no convention will
be called this year, 1t is unusual to
call one except in years when nomina-
tiona are to be made. One OF General
Mahone's MOTT confidential friends in
the state expresses the belief that hia
party will confine the issues OF the cam
paign chiefly to national Questions
The most prominent among these will
probably be the repeal of the
international revenue system, the
Blair educational bill and the
tariff. The expectation is that the
republican state committee will ap-
point subcommittee to prepare an
address to the voters of the state. Hon
John s. Wise and some of the young
leaders, who have followed Malone in
other campaigns, will be with him again
this year. IL is understood that Malone
himself will take part in the approach
ing canvass. The republicans admit
they have little hope of securing a
majority in the senate, The fight is to
be directed almost entirely towards get
ting control of the house of delegates
to give them majority of the legis.a-
ture on joint ballot and elect Malone
to the senate.

A Communication from Jerauld coun-
ty, published in this issue, asserts that
the little gathering in that county last
year in opposition to divisicn and state
hood, while 1t did not embody the senti-
ments Of the people OF Jerauld county,
had much effect at Washington in deter
mining the result against the dearest
hopes OF the people. To us it is sur
prising development that a handful
OF disafected political wire-pullers can
reach so deeply as this into the concerns
Of the masses. Yet there is ample ev-
idence that it has been done time after
time under the sklllful manipulations oi
q few aggressive spirits. Dakota has
been continuously misrefaresented al
Washington by q very small faction ol
it's active opponents. The JerauId
county incident is given as one OF few
similar affairs affecting the destiny o
this great territory. Though ninety
per cent Of our people desire division
they content themselves with shouting
at home, while the other ten per cen
shout in Washington.

Relative to the Omsha & Yaakton
railroad enterprise, which took shape in
Omaha last Monday, the Omaha Repub-
liean OF a previous date says: -,
The organization Will be, completed
as soon as possible, and the surveys
made. The route between this city and
Yankton has been pretty definitely
fixed apon. The subscription books
were opened few days ago, and several
thousand shares were taken, principally
by Boston parties.
Since the publication OF this para
graph the officers Of the new company
have been elected and the organization
is effected All that is known at the
Yankton end OF the line relatiYe to this
company is that it is backed by plenty
Of capital and is in the hands of men
who express determination to push
construction rapidly. A road from
Omaha to Yankton means an invasion
OF Dakota from the south and such 4
road will prove OF more benefit to Yank
ton than any purely eastern road which
might come. IL will open up to ouI
business men large field OF operations
in Nebraska and will establish an inter
change of commodities between th,
south and the north. Yankton will b,
made its northern terminus and chie
point OF operations. No railroad coult
do Yankton greater good than one whiol
comes to it from the SOUTH

The alleged declaration by the presi-
dent that he intends visiting Dakota
during the fall and placing himself un-
der the guidance of Governor Church
has been followed by an. invitation to
the president to visit Dakota, extended
by Governor Church in behalf OF Huron.
Because OF these expressions of comfy it
does not follow that president will
really visit Dakota. III he should chance
to come the visit would do Dakota little
good, as he would be unable, in a
hurried trip, to imbibe the real senti-
ments of the people. He would be sur
rounded by faction of the democratic
party which owes it's official existence
to its enmlty to the people
and to it's studied efforts to mis-
represent the condition OF public senti-
ment. a visit under such auspices
would merely give to this faction an
opportunity to add insult to injury oyer
